Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Debora prodded Brook to clear out his things so she could use his office. With a grim expression, Brook complied and left with her. Jayden stayed behind, heading for the elevator.

Tobin Carman responded, “It’s en route. Mrs. Owen will receive it before the party begins.” Jayden hoped the gift would bring her joy.

“There’s a meeting you need to attend, sir. We have 40 minutes before it starts. We should head there promptly,” Tobin said, checking his watch.
